I love it and all…but this sort of is souring me on C&H now. I cannot not equate them anymore.

Hold up a sec. Some kids (and adults) do need medication to help them focus on certain types of tasks. They are not able to do it on their own.
That does not mean they loose all creativity and sense of imagination.

That is a good point, but I took it as a swipe of the cases I’ve seen to medicate away overly rambunctious and yet perfectly ordinary child behavior

Kids everywhere after watching today’s impeachment hearings:
“…And tell me, Mom, when you walked into the kitchen and saw me, I took my hand OUT of the cookie jar, is that correct? …And when I took my hand out of the cookie jar, HOW MANY cookies did you see in my hand? One? Two? Three? Or WAS IT, IN FACT, ZERO COOKIES?”

So… boing boing now does this thing where an advertisement closes in on all 4 sides of what I’m reading? Never bothered to create an account here, but I did just now to say, bye bye forever boing boing.
It depends on the medication and diagnosis.
The typical ADHD medication is a stimulant, which when given to an ADHD person helps them focus, and by extension, pay attention and sit still. They’re paying attention, so they aren’t bored & restless.
OTOH, give it to a normal kid, and it’s like giving them a jumbo can of Red Bull.
Thank you for that chaser. Unicorn status confirmed. I owe you one.
